Bucs QB Josh Freeman regressed severely in 2011, and the team is currently without an adequate backup QB in place.

The team is supposedly interested in acquiring a veteran to backup and mentor Freeman, while also being a potential replacement should the young QB continue to struggle.

Several free agent QBs have been sighted at the Bucs facility, including the recently released Matt Hasselbeck. Former Jaguar David Garrard and former Raider Jason Campbell were also in town to interview.

Another intriguing option spotted interviewing was David Carr. Carr was in New York last season where new Bucs offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan served as his QB coach.

The Bucs are most interested in bringing back former backup Josh Johnson. Johnson is expected to receive offers from other teams and would like to go to a situation where he can compete for a starting job however.
